Let's get the basics out of the way. 430W PSU; here's an image of my DX Diag:

And one last thing, I started off with a prebuilt and added the PSU [sub][sub][sub]430W PSU[/sub][/sub][/sub] and Graphics card [sub][sub][sub]4670 HD Radeon[/sub][/sub][/sub]
This is that prebuilt - [url]http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/hp-pavilion-p6510y/4507-3118_7-34121955.html[/url]

Now onto the basics. I kind of want to upgrade this sucker, but I don't want to screw it up or anything.
Can you guys help me with what the best way I should upgrade it? More RAM and a better graphics card? If so, what would be best within the budget of $100 - $200?
That PSU is going to restrict you from upgrading to a decent GPU. The wattage is low -- hell, it's probably an IED.
Your CPU might bottleneck if you decide to get a good GPU as well. RAM is fine, IMO.
Save up a bit more. When you accumulate about $400-500, pick up a new CPU, GPU, and PSU.

Is there anything I can buy right now instead of later with that price-range? Or do I have to buy it all at once or else it won't work.
a 50 dollar powersupply and 6850 will do you good
